Aah, we're all gonna die!

Asteroid to skirt Earth on future Friday the 13th

The asteroid Apophis, named after a Stargate SG-1 character the ancient Egyptian god of destruction, will make a close pass of the Earth on April 13, 2029. Or not. These things have a tendence to not happen, because asteroid orbits are easily perturbed. Of course, it could smash into the planet and kill everyone in whatever country it hits, plus cause a prolonged winter and starvation.

    As it passes, will it say "Bow before your god!"?

    How much you wanna bet there's a giant pyramid hidden in the damned thing?
